Spohn vs UMI K-Member for LSX swap
Bottom line: Which is better for install and overall durability, quality, cost, etc? Would like replies from actual users and installers of these products. Pics if you have them. Thanks

Thanks for your reply and a great thread on your swap. I will be contacting UMI Monday about the engine mount issue you had. I’m going with a auto trans, hope I have no clearance issues with the exhaust and torque arm relocation cross member. We will see. Again, thanks.

Re: Spohn vs UMI K-Member for LSX swap
My LS swapped 91 RS has a chrome moly UMI K-member & matching A-arms. It's been flawless for three and a half years and 10,000 miles. The car handles fantastic. Highly recommended.
If you want a Sphon chrome moly LS swap K-member for a 3rd Gen contact me and I will make you an excellent deal on mine. I bought the Sphon and decided the UMI was better in every regard. The Sphon is still new in box.
